The Nosta Chronicle
Market23 Oct 2028
Vasily Chekavinskiy hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Nosta can pretend not to have heard.

A falling-out at Nosta
Ondřej Sprinz and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Nosta are still strangers to each other
8 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Vasil Stoychev gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Ilja Popov knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Nosta, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Stanislav Irshev talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Nosta know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
The dugout23 Oct 2028
Stepan Markaryan does not fit this one
Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Stepan Markaryan placed on the list
Nosta have made Stepan Markaryan available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.
Looking ahead23 Oct 2028
An away day at Volna next for Nosta
They sit in position 2 and they will be waiting. Away form is where a season shows its true character, and this side has a point to make about its own.
In brief
